You have to be in a country to use its store, otherwise you are violating the store's terms - asking for a credit card that's registered to the address on your iTunes account is a way of checking that you are able to use that country's store. You should be able to remove the card's details after entering them :Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support :

If you changed your country or region

When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you can change your payment information to None.
